First Reported Use of Team Cognitive Workload for Root Cause Analysis in Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Seminars in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cognitive workload data of members of the cardiac surgery team can be measured intraoperatively and stored for later analysis. We present a case of a near-miss (medication error) that underwent root cause analysis using workload data. Heart rate variability data, representing workload levels, were collected from the attending surgeon, attending anesthesiologist, and lead perfusionist using wireless heart rate monitors. An episode of cognitive overload of the anesthesiologist due to a distractor was associated with the preventable error. Additional studies are needed to better understand the role of psychophysiological data in enhancing surgical patient safety.
